Strategies for overcoming fear of flying: ALPEN AIR focuses on trust and comfort

Previous and methods for overcoming fear of flying include medical approaches that can be considered. Short-term use of sedatives after medical consultation can help to alleviate the symptoms of anxiety. In addition, breathing techniques, meditation, hypnotherapy or cognitive behavioral therapy can often help to calm the body in this stressful situation. However, these strategies are sometimes short-lived or not necessarily successful. What helps to completely overcome the fear of flying without medical help or long therapies, on the other hand, is a classic gentle introduction to an airplane and flying itself. A combination of psychological strategies and positive experiences.

 

Alpen Air focuses on trust and comfort. The use of experienced pilots who respond to passengers’ concerns and the choice of comfortable aircraft such as the Tecnam P2012 Traveler create an environment of trust.

    If they feel unwell, first-time flyers are met with empathy and reassurance to alleviate any possible fears.

  • Adaption of the flight path:

    In the event of slight discomfort, the flight route can be adjusted to avoid turbulence or change the flight altitude. This can help to improve the well-being of passengers.

  • Necessary measures:

    Emergency medical equipment is available on board in the event of more serious indisposition. If necessary, the pilots can contact ground doctors and initiate further necessary measures.

  • Landing in exceptional cases:

    If necessary, the aircraft can also land early to ensure appropriate medical care. This will only happen if the safety of the passengers requires it.
